Dean's Diner

I remember coming here as a kid and the food, the atmosphere, and the menu look exactly the same as they were decades ago. I may be biased as I have good memories of coming here with my grandma and mom and the meal I got here reminded me of some good times. I got the vegetable omelet and it is exactly how you'd expect an omelet from a classic diner. It was cooked pretty hard, but was enjoyable as they have a nice bit of tomatoes, peppers, and cheese. I added peppers and onions to the home fries and that did add a nice contrast. The potatoes could have been browned a bit more, but they were decent. We split a half order of biscuits and gravy and that was better than I expected. It's not the best I've had, but the sausage gravy was tasty without being too greasy or heavy. I tried some gravy fries and again, they tasted exactly how I expect diner fries to taste. Nobody in the group tried any pie, but it looked like they had a decent selection to choose from. One thing I really noticed was that the toast was buttered to the edges of the bread. It seems like that is a rare occurrence and I'm not sure how many people really care about that, but that's a small detail that I really appreciated. They do offer a wide array of lunch and dinner choices, but I do feel like the best bet is to go with breakfast. They serve it 24 hours a day.

It was fun checking out a new place. The breakfast menu was very small & limited. The food & service was ok. The restrooms were very clean.

Had a late breakfast this past Sunday & it was delicious. Had peanut butter chocolate pie for dessert. The price is great for all the food we got! Will return!!

Definitely a classic. You come here for the low prices, 24 hour service, and old school diner setting. Obviously not fine dining. I had a hot roast beef sandwich. Good, mostly salty taste. Lots of gravy! Portions are commensurate with the price - most folks will be full, but you're probably not taking home appetizers.We were there for an early weeknight dinner but they were almost out of their well known pie already, so we had to order quickly and we're able to snag the last few pieces. I had the lemon meringue. I hate to say it but it was frankly pretty bad and looked much better than it tasted. The meringue and crust were decent, but the lemon curd filling was very unpleasant. Flavorless and watery, no tartness or sweetness and just a hint of lemon, like an infused water or something. Just bad.

This not our first stop at Dean's, but every time we pass it's a winner! The atmosphere is so homey, it's like a small town diner. The service is always super friendly, servers make time to chat with guests. This time I had the veg soup and grilled ham/cheese & my husband had the deluxe burger, both were delicious with nice portion size. Definitely will return again when traveling through!

Slow, slow, slow!!Stopped by for breakfast last Saturday, 7/27 around 11:25 am and won't be back. The breakfast rush had gone but it still took 45 mins for a simple breakfast of two eggs over medium.Two young ladies who ordered before me only received their meals (cheeseburger & fries) when I was nearly finished mine.The eggs were ok, home fries flavorless and the pre-made sausage patties were cold. WTF took 45 mins?I've since read other reviews stating they're understaffed and this is the norm.Don't eat here unless you have at least 2 hours to spare

Food was mediocre at best. They had a $12 pierogi and kielbasa special. It was 4 Mrs T's pierogis, 4 little pieces of kielbasa and a sad looking salad that was just lettuce, a small tomato slice and a few onion pieces. Definitely not worth $12. The place could use a total scrub down. The staff were nice and attentive.

We stopped at this "restaurant" on our way home from state college. We just barely beat a slight rush of folks, if you consider 3 groups of 2 a rush. It took over a half hour for several meals. We had nothing extravagant: grilled cheese, grilled ham and cheese, and two burgers. I use the word burger loosely. The "deluxe" burger was 2 smash patties on a 3 layer bun which came with coleslaw (we never received that), and fries. If you've ever bought frozen fries at the grocery store, then undercooked them, that's what you'll find here. We did hear that the pies were good, but we ended up cancelling that piece of our order. After 3 of the 4 at our table found hairs in our food, we lost our appetite. Our server was genuinely surprised when we didn't have a craving for hair pie after we alerted her to the hairs in our food. According to the marquee they've been in business for 90 years, now that is the real surprise.

I saw this diner while driving from Indiana to Connecticut. Decided to try it on my return. Delicious and friendly! The raison pie was not my favorite "mince"--but points for having it! I love diners.

I stopped here for breakfast on my way through the area on 10/23/24 the food was ehhhhhh but the coffee was horrendous, one sip was enough and couldn't drink the rest. The waitress was matter of fac and not real sociable. When I told them the coffee was terrible all they said was hmmmm it's Maxwell House. They still charged me for the coffee anyways. After I left a review on their Facebook page they blocked me lol. Needless to say I will never visit this diner again and hope others will also avoid it.
